Where The River Runs
"Where The River Runs"
Walking on the edge where the ocean kisses the sky
The sun and moon wage war on each other
Showers of the aftermath rain down
Casting the shadow of a loveless victor
Staking a claim in a lawless history
Aging the stone to its crumbling death
Racing with the speed of light around a cold winter star
The option to live spins through the absence of time in eternity
Holding on and letting go both sound the same
There, then it's not, remembered and forgotten
Written on the corridor walls of memory
The words fade as darkness and forgiveness trade places
A heartfelt moment replaced by persuasion
Thrown into the empty depths of the unwanted
The desecration breathes inside a permanent scar
Painfully injecting a hostile nightmare
The end of the illusion is determined by fate
Hope watches closely in the sleepless midnight hours
Glowing on the other side of the next bridge to cross
Where the essence of life flows freely under cracking feet
Reflecting the toll this fight has taken
A tired face with hollow eyes in an overstayed welcome
Leaving a trail of footprints between the tallest pines
Disappearing into their increasing density
Dampened by the mist beneath the rising fog
A word left unspoken is hidden safely in a prayer
Tomorrow began when yesterday was swept away
Spread over forbidden land on unholy ground
Glimmering over the dawns' burning fire
Illuminating a torn soul expressing gratitude
